SL are glorified minnows these days going through a monumental generational change.
Only batsmen I recognized was Kusal Perera.
Lol he's not even in the team these days

No international games are meaningless.
To say otherwise is a disrespect to us fans as we exect all players to perform to the best of their abilities and to look to win at all times.
Whilst fixing allegations etc maybe a little farfetched given the burden of proof needed, the intent of SL players can be questioned.
If we apply this across board, ICC probably should question PCB given how meekly Pakistan surrendered at home last year. Was that quid pro quo for the teams agreeing to tour ?
Bro - 77 all out for an international side in a white-ball game versus being beaten over 5 days - are two different things.
Lol he's not even in the team these days ��.. you meant Kusal Mendis by the way ..
its funny seeing Indian posters getting offended so easily, even though OP clearly said he didnt meant any disrespect towards India nor he was questioning their integrity......
Can't look at things with an open mind, always see things with a nationalist lens.
OP has a valid argument, and ASCU probably does investigate such games where scores cards dont match and there is very huge deviation and to involving a team that is a test nation.
People don't understand that games which are dead rubber and have no significance left are the easiest to fix. Sri Lanka would have lost the match anyway but it is the margin with which they lost have raised some eyebrows. Maybe after 3-4 years we will know about this, till then we can give OP the benefit of doubt.![]()
Not everyone - with the way ODIs are set up right now, it makes it difficult to care about them.And yet Pak fans keep boasting about their superior head to head ODI record against India.
Yup, that's the one.Lol he's not even in the team these days ��.. you meant Kusal Mendis by the way ..
In the last 6 or 7 months alone Indias bowled England out for 110 after reducing them to 68/8 at the oVal a full strength England side. India chased down without losing a wicket. So should we say England played purposely? Bowled SA out for 105 after reducing them to 9/5 in a T20. Bowled SA out for 99 in a ODI. Those are better sides. This is a low ranked SL side. Is it because Pakistan Test win was tainted by a srilankan team's shady activities? So we should see that win and runs scored there with an asterix?
This is interesting. Indian posters (for some reason) will come in and defend this saying this happens and is a usual thing.Challo - we can all sleep better now.

SL have both Kusal Mendis and Kusal Perera.
Mendis is still playing. Not sure where Perera is.
I know that's why I said he's not in the team these days.. actually it's Mendis who displaced Perera (WK)..

Would have been more fair had OP also posted on the Nz wins which they won from losing conditions. SL had loads of injuries in the match and the worst was the collision . This could have led to the de motivation and collapse from SL team.
Should ICC investigate the 1st ODI vs NZ?

For what? NZ are fighting hard.![]()
Hmm. Should ICC investigate India now?

The issue I had with the SL game? 77 All out, 317 run margin win
Totally different from a game where both sides are trying hard to win.
Am afraid I have the urge to bump this thread for NZ also if they continue losing wickets!
No doubt.BPL 2023:
Rangpur Riders vs Sylhet Strikers, 25th Match
SYST 18/7 (8.4) CRR: 2.08
Rangpur Riders opt to bowl
Another game that needs some attention.
Early days but should this IND vs NZ game be investigated as well?![]()

Btw, were there any findings from the investigation SLCC did or was it mere lip-service? Havent heard a peep from them after that
It was classic case of "naach na jaane aangan tedha".
What does that mean? Sorry my Hindi/Urdu aint that great!
Lowest Test score for Australia against India in Test history - 92. This must be investigated no matter what
When was the last time Oz lost by an innings?

Thanks. Interesting that England has defeated them by an innings 4 times, all 2010 onward. Can you share the same data for India?
I agree.Both pace and spin bowlers can pose huge threat. It is hard to score against them.
England made 578 at chennai.
Look at the scores by opposition after that. Not a single team crossed 300. Both pace and spin bowlers can pose huge threat. It is hard to score against them.

Australia all out for 113, lost 9/52 today.
India are already 1 down. if india lose, will it still be worth investigating?
You know well India wont lose. Not happening.
If India do lose then no need to investigate!

India has won, Miggy bhai. I think all these Indian wins need to be investigated seriously by ICC
Poor PCB always missing the trick, should have prepared the spin track rather than flat roads against Aussies. I am sure Aussies can't beat Asian teams on any half decent spin track.Australia's win in Pakistan must be investigated. No chance such a pathetic team in subcontinent winning against a great Pakistan side having no. 1 batter in the world.

Now you are trolling us!
Aussies cannot play decent pacers, forget about half decent spinners in SC conditions.
It is mind boggling how Pakistan lost to them.
Australia just have a very bad record in India and they struggle to get over the line there mentally, even though the quality of their players should make them competitive.
It doesn’t entirely make logical sense but most sides have their Achilles heel conditions and or/their personal bogey team.
It’s a bit like England on tours of the West Indies, where I think we have won one Test series since the 1960s which is a pathetic record to be honest with you.
As for the Sri Lanka record loss one, I would rate that as a higher chance of being dodgy/fixed because Sri Lankan cricket and its governance has plenty of form for this.
Sri Lankan sides have had all sorts of weird performances over the years where they suddenly all start playing suicide shots, including some collapses from relatively comfortable match positions.
